Engineered immune cells take aim at autoimmune diseases

NCT ID NCT07490951

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early study tests a new treatment called CD19/BCMA CAR-T for people with severe autoimmune diseases like lupus and Sjögren's syndrome that haven't improved with standard care. The treatment involves taking a patient's own immune cells, modifying them to target specific immune cells, and infusing them back. The main goals are to check safety and find the right dose, with 20 participants expected.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

CD19/BCMA-targeted CAR-T cells

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with severe autoimmune diseases that haven't responded to standard therapies.

What could go wrong

This is a very early, small trial (20 people) with no control group. CAR-T therapy carries risks like severe immune reactions and infections, and it's unknown if it will work for autoimmune diseases.
